Favored by good weather the greater part of the time and plenty of competition the spring track season of 1917 was all that Coach Walter Christie could ask. A squad of more than one hundred Varsity and Freshmen signed up at the annual spring track rally held on February 13, although work had been in progress since January 24, the first week of the semester, which opened January 15. To limber the muscles of the athletes and get ready for the season ' s grind, Coach Christie inaugurated a series of Saturday hikes through the Berkeley hills. Eight and ten miles were covered each week-end for the first three weeks. During the week days the squad worked out on the track, Coach Christie correcting faults and developing the correct track form. The crunching of spikes into the cinders and the crack of the starter ' s pistol announced the opening of the season of competition on February 17, with the annual Novice Meet. Few Varsity stars were entered, but uniformly good times and good distances were made. The annual interclass held on March 3, brought out strong competition, and was won by the Seniors, with 59 points. The Juniors took second with 57 and the Sophomores third with 56%. The Freshmen did not enter a team, as the 1920 class had had a meet with Lowell High School in the morning. Nichols of the Senior class was the individual star, captur- ing first place in the broad jump, high jump and pole vault. Clark ' s mark of :10-2 in the hundred, Sullivan ' s 4:42-3 in the mile, Johnson ' s :22-3 in the 220-yard dash and Nichol ' s 22 feet 8 inches in the broad jump, Liversedge ' s 46 feet 4 inches in the shot put and Richardson ' s 162 feet in the hammer throw were the best. C. E. Sullivan captained the Seniors, J. P. Jackson the Juniors and J. K. Moody the Sophs. The Varsity handicap meet was held on March 10. A cold wind and a wet track hindered the competition, but despite these drawbacks several good times were made. Blanchard won the 880-yard dash in 1 :57-2 and Purnell won the 220-yard dash in :22-3. The last meet without outside competition was the Intercollege meet on March 24, which was won by Letters and Science with a score of 57 points. Agriculture followed with 51, and then came: Pre-Legal 24, Engineering colleges 9, and Chemistry 9. Sullivan of Agriculture won the mile in 4:40, Goeppert of Letters and Science, won the 440-yard dash in :51-2, Liversedge put the shot 46 feet 6 inches and Richardson threw the hammer 160 feet 3 inches. Nichols was the heaviest point winner, annex- ing the high jump, broad jump and pole vault. Liversedge captained Agriculture; Gibbons, Commerce; Ross, Pre-Legal; and Raisner, Let- ters and Science. two hundred and fifty-two
